Godslayer: After the Seraph rejected me, I ascended directly to the highest godhood.

Above Fengdu, a young man floated in mid-air, a gust of cold wind brushing against the bangs on his forehead.

The young man held a long sword that emitted a pale golden light, and his aura of killing intent and imperial power pressed down on the ancient city.

The spirits below trembled, unable to resist kneeling before the majestic figure in the face of the emperor's power.

Jiang Ye's eyes gleamed with a faint golden light as he gazed into the distance, his eyes icy cold.

In my field of vision, Yama sits high on his divine throne, completely at ease.

"You think I'm talking nonsense?"

Jiang Ye flicked his wrist, and his longsword swung out. A golden sword aura pierced through space, ignoring distance, and slashed towards the River Styx in the underworld of 'Varanasi'.

This is the second skill of the Xuanyuan Sword, the Emperor's Sword, which can ignore spatial distance and intimidate enemies.

The sword energy it unleashed flashed with dazzling golden light in the sky, while countless evil spirits below trembled and knelt on the ground.

This imperial aura filled them with immense fear.

After unleashing this sword strike, Jiang Ye looked at the Yin spirits on the ground. The Xuanyuan Sword stood before him, its holy light radiating from the blade, illuminating the entire Fengdu.

The sword of the holy path can slay evil spirits and also guide people to rebirth.

The laws of Fengdu are incomplete, so these spirits cannot be reincarnated.

"The might of the Holy Sword will grant you rebirth in the Pure Land."

As soon as he finished speaking, the holy sword energy swept across the entire ancient city, and all the evil spirits that came into contact with the holy sword energy showed joy on their faces.

They were trapped here for who knows how many years, and finally they can be reincarnated.

"Thank you! Holy King!"

Countless spirits knelt before that majestic figure, transforming into golden light as they journeyed to the next life…

Jiang Ye nodded slightly, and his figure gradually disappeared amidst the holy sword energy.

In the distance, Lin Qiye, who had just emerged from the burrow left by the queen ant, happened to see the figure disappear under the holy sword energy.

Ok?

He rubbed his eyes, about to take a closer look, but found that the figure had already disappeared into the holy sword aura.

That back view looks so familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before...

"Why did you stop?" Jiang Ye, who had returned from behind, saw Lin Qiye standing in place, looking up at the sky, and couldn't help but ask.

Lin Qiye snapped out of his daze, turned his head to look at the boy's handsome face, and seemed to remember.

That figure from behind just now looked like Jiang Ye...

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head. "It's nothing. Let's go to the city and take a look."

Jiang Ye following the group was probably just overthinking things.

Jiang Ye smiled and walked side by side with Lin Qiye.

After being purified by the holy sword energy, Fengdu no longer experienced gusts of eerie wind; instead, the light became brighter.

The two walked around several streets together, but there was no one there and no sign of a fight.

A look of confusion appeared on Lin Qiye's face. He looked up at the dark sky, trying to find the figure that had just disappeared.

But the ancient city was eerily quiet, without a sound.

Following outside the bronze gate, the sounds we heard were completely different.

Has the battle already ended? Has the person who entered earlier already left?

Seeing that there was no danger, Jiang Ye and Lin Qiye continued walking into the city.

Jiang Ye, standing to the side, was inwardly exclaiming in disbelief that Lin Qiye was heading straight for the Ghost Palace.

There wasn't even the slightest deviation.

Jiang Ye walked along, deep in thought, wondering if he should try to stop them.

If it succeeds, wouldn't that be a modified value?

Okay, system, you're right.

Give it a try; success is a bonus.

A faint blue-white light emanated from Jiang Ye's palm, and the Myriad Manifestations Divine Ruins unfolded, forming a huge maze around the two of them.

The maze formed, but Lin Qiye remained oblivious and continued forward.

Jiang Ye walked to the side the whole time.

But gradually, Lin Qiye finally realized something was wrong. He looked at the lanterns around him and realized this was not the place he had just been.

"Jiang Ye, don't you think we're just going around in circles?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow slightly, coughed twice, and looked around. "It seems so. Should we try going back the way we came?"

The maze he designed could only be escaped by returning the way he came.

Lin Qiye thought for a moment. They had already passed the same place three times, so there was no point in continuing.

Why not try going in the opposite direction?

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Following their memory, the two walked toward the hole in the wall next to the bronze door.

The result was surprisingly good; the problem did not revert to its original state.

At this moment, inside the Hall of Ghosts and Gods, countless soldiers' armors were scattered around, and a black coffin was placed on the central circular platform.

The coffin lid trembled slightly, and the person lying inside seemed to be in a great hurry.

Especially as Lin Qiye gradually moved away, the coffin trembled more and more violently.

Inside the main hall, the violent shaking of the coffin caused the scattered soldiers' armor to fly up.

He gradually reformed into the appearance of a soldier, with a sword at his waist, exuding a murderous aura.

boom!

The coffin emitted a terrifying aura, and the door of the Ghost God Hall opened in response, revealing the reassembled soldiers, four of whom lifted the coffin at its four corners.

Even after it was lifted, the coffin continued to tremble slightly, like the heaving of a young girl's angry chest.

Tread, step, step...

Then, hundreds of armored soldiers surrounded the coffin, marching in orderly steps towards the outside of the hall...

At the bronze gate.

Jiang Ye and Lin Qiye successfully navigated out of the maze.

"Jiang Ye, you really made it out." Lin Qiye smiled slightly.

Jiang Ye nodded without batting an eye. "We understand the basic situation inside. Let's go back now. This is not something we can handle."

Lin Qiye nodded obediently, glanced at the ancient city, and said, "Let's go."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye immediately thought to himself, "System, damn it, I'll reward you..."

Tread, step, step...

Ok?

Suddenly, the sound of synchronized footsteps came from afar. Jiang Ye couldn't help but look over, and his expression immediately turned as if he had seen a ghost.

Damn you!

If you weren't a girl, you wouldn't be so restless even lying in your coffin; how could you possibly come here?

Jiang Ye slapped his forehead. "I underestimated you! You old scoundrel Sanjiu!"

Lin Qiye naturally heard the heavy footsteps and saw Jiang Ye's constipated expression, which startled him.

He looked towards the ancient city, his eyes widening involuntarily.

At the end of the stone-paved road leading to the ancient city, ancient soldiers dressed in armor slowly appeared, their steps in perfect unison.

Most importantly, among them were four soldiers carrying a black coffin, which, combined with the poor lighting, made the scene seem exceptionally eerie.

Swish!

Lin Qiye drew his Star Blade and stared at the group of armored soldiers with a serious expression.

"Jiang Ye, prepare for battle."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye said speechlessly, "You dare to hit me?"

"I dare."

Jiang Ye: "..."

He silently closed his eyes and had no choice but to give up.

Who the hell would have thought that the coffin would come out by itself?

Looking at Jiang Ye's strange expression, Lin Qiye showed the pendant Jiang Ye had given him and said:

"With your Eternal Realm and the pendant you gave me, which grants infinite regeneration, the two of us can wear him down to death."

Jiang Ye's lips twitched. What a scene it was, calling someone a brother while beating his own wife.

Lin Qiye, you're amazing!

Boom!

At this moment, the soldiers had walked about thirty meters in front of the two men, and they suddenly stopped.

The coffin fell to the ground with a thud...
